It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

thanks Tenn. the coverage I saw made it sound like it was a border lake, with a boundary running through it. like I said... Chiver-it was a border lake between Texas and Mexico.

Here's some info on the opposing viewpoint: www.eastbayexpress.com/92510/archives/2010/01/09/study-says-granting-amnesty-to-illegal-immigrants-would-boost-economy Archives | RSS « Oakland and Richmond Parents M… | Slap Hitter: A'sja-Vu » Saturday, January 9, 2010 Study Says Granting Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants Would Boost Economy Jonathan Riley — Sat, Jan 9, 2010 at 4:00 AM Tools Comments (30) A new study has found that legalizing the status of the 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States would boost the economy, creating jobs and increasing wages for native-born workers, according to a story in the Chronicle. The study, which was released January 7, was conducted by UCLA associate professor Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda and was primarily based on data following the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. The report concluded that legalizing undocumented immigrants could increase the gross domestic product by $1.5 trillion over the next ten years www.nclr.org/index.php/about_us/news/news_releases/nclr_applauds_the_reintroduction_of_the_dream_act/The “DREAM Act” is a commonsense measure that will allow immigrant students who were raised in the U.S. and attend college or serve in the military to earn their legal immigration status. The legislation passed in the U.S. House of Representatives last year and received a bipartisan majority vote in the U.S. Senate, but that was not enough to overcome a filibuster by opponents. Following a call made by President Obama yesterday for Congress to act, these leaders have introduced a bill that is clearly necessary from an immigration perspective, as well as from an education, economic, and military-readiness standpoint. Not all of us are as filled with hate as Krickett. Some of us hope for Amnesty for illegal aliens.

Yep, that's me-- filled with hate. I hate my Latino son-in-law, 2 daughters-in-law, and most of all my 3 half Mexican American granddaughters. I'm just a terrible person.

My 17 yo son has had a mustache since he was 11. My DD was laughing about it the other day. He has lots of body hair but it comes from his Germanic grandfather. Here in the Midwest most Hispanics are fanatic about soccer. Not aware of any Hispanic BBall teams but I suppose there are. My kid is decidedly uninterested in any sport save one.

Lets put your Hispanic relatives on the spot about what they think of your attitude in front of their Hispanic friends and family. I bet they will be mighty uncomfortable answering you.
My life is filled with as many Hispanics as white people. I don't know of any Hispanic in our circle that believes as you do.

Every Hispanic person I know is sick of the same exact things I am re. illegals, including the in-laws and the 19 YO legal immigrant Mex Amer girl I rent a room to in our home. And some of them are Democrats. Is it HARD for such a horrible person as I am to live with 2 Mexican Americans and a 1/2 3 YO?? Maybe you can tell me, bean.
You have fun now, ya hear?

Life would be so good for the illegals if only they could take back the U.S. and turn it into Mexico . . . Oh wait

I'm just waiting for some politician(s) to give the part of the country I have lived in for 55 years back to Mexico. Seem some people in other parts of the country think that is a good idea, too.

They are smuggled in by boat and then work as slave labor to pay back the smugglers.

what good will bits and pieces of fence do? it will create a "federal corridor"(the only places along the border without fences) ultimately proving to every American that the federal govt does not care about the overwhelming will of the people, that the federal govt is out of control and the real threat to "our freedoms and way of life" maybe then a viable third party or real campaign finance reform could take hold.

It sure seems like it is time for that. I wish it was NOW, in time for 2012. Well, we still have some time to go. Who knows what will happen between now and then. But-- will the Bilderbergs get them? Is there anyone outside that kind of power? I don't know.

Want to slow smuggling? Legalize, regulate, and regulate Pot. Illegals? Crackdown on illegal work of ALL kinds with a good SS ID card with a chip. No fence that wouldn't be un American or way too expensive would work. And even THAT wouldn't work! You are sorely misled by Pub hypocrites. They love cheap labor-that is all...and Hispanics are born republicans, crazy hard working, family values and the bible blah blah, so don't give me that crappe. The truth is so boring compared to your mile a minute Pub horse patoot. Arm yourselves- the sky is falling!!

<<Want to slow smuggling? Legalize, regulate, and regulate Pot.>>
We already have that here in CA, it has made no impact on the flood of illegals.
<<Illegals? Crackdown on illegal work of ALL kinds with a good SS ID card with a chip.>>
I am a business owner. If I hire someone, I have to submit the proper paperwork to the SSA. If the person is an illegal and has submitted a false SSN, I will get a letter from the SSA telling me that there is a problem with that SSN but I am forbidden to fire this employee. And that's thanks to Dems who want the votes of illegals.
Oh, excuse me, "Unregistered Democrats".

Because there will be a reasonable amnesty- everyone who isn't misled knows it- it's just a question whether Pubs allow a good SS ID card. So we won't need ANOTHER one in 25 years...

Legalizing pot will have an effect on SMUGGLING, of course. And more outside good old Cal, of course.

www.foxnews.com/world/2011/05/12/beheaded-bodies-northern-mexican-state/19 beheaded bodies since Monday. Story.. **People can say, "Well, that is Mexico." A couple issues I have with that. 1) They do not sell their drugs in Mexico, they bring them here. Let's be honest, it is just a river or a hill away, and there is a war going on there, which is spilling in to the US. 2) Why do we go all drama crazy when nuts in the nutty ME/Africa area make threats to their people, but right here next door to us people get their heads cut off all the time and no one even talks about it??? Are people in Libya more important than Mexicans, or is it because it is not gov't, but drug cartels, what?? Al Qaeda isn't a gov't, either, terrorist like cartels... but they killed us in mass, the Mexico war is killing us slowly, VERY Muslim extremist.ish, so I guess we just pretend it is not there. There's Hamas in them there Mexican hills.. and gov't is well aware of it. None of it makes one bit of sense to me except the gov't is in the drug trade and wants to blow the borders down and let the dependent Democrats pour in.. Could possibly be said for both parties, except Pubs don't like welfare as much as Dems. Oh, yeah , NWO... Hard to put it all together, though.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Krickitt is not filled with hate or racism or anything of the sort! krickitt lives in a border state just as I do. She experiences first hand what is it like to live with the consequences of mass illegal immigration. She has grandbabies that are half Mexican and she loves them to pieces! You should rethink your blanket "hate/racist" accusations.

Decriminalizing at least pot, would go a long way to curbing the violence, free up prison space and police resources to crack down on other crimes. Prohibition, doesn't work.

Ha ha - why not just let in every third worlder who feels coming over. You like Mexico, Honduras, Columbia... maybe even Africa so much? Take it back there and leave the innovation and production to real Americans.
